Drake and 40 have come an extremely long way together. Just hours before the scheduled premiere of VIEWS, Drake took time out to thank his friend and producer. "Before we do this I just wanna say thanks man," Drake wrote in an Instagram post. "Thank you for the years you spent working with some of Toronto's true legends honing your craft. Thanks you for dropping everything to work with me after we met and realized we had something special." Read the full post above. VIEWS is scheduled to premiere during OVO Sound Radio which begins at 10:45 p.m. ET.
